The police refusing to grant bail unless you bring a male surety is not new. They do it so often that NASS passed a law in 2015 specifically stating that women should be allowed to bail suspects. Saying that something is a lie just bcos you've not witnessed it is unintelligent.

I wish Lagos protesters will carry this protest to Tinubu's house. Like, camp in front of his house or something. If he says Lagos people will not have peace, he too will not sleep well. #EndSARS

The NPF carries out hundreds of unlawful killings yearly. 3,100 "armed robbers" were killed in 2003 alone - Amnesty International @amnesty In my project defence today, I explained how in view of international requirements, there is a pressing need to police the Nigerian Police.

A good number of people on this app consider Oloye an "intellectual". That man that has the depth of a teaspoon.
